    Great video and explanations. The use of the word "discomfort" in the gyno world feels like gaslighting. Trying to get into the uturus to fish around for a lost IUD is far from uncomfortable, the pain was 10 out of 10. And apparently that was just the dilating, the doctor never made it to the fish hook part. I had even taken 3 ibprofen that day because I was concerned that the removal might be painful, of course not knowing that my previous doctor had doomed me by completely cutting off the strings! I was fighting back tears and the chair was covered in blood. After later researching what was going on, I find it shocking that anyone could ever use the word 'discomfort' to describe having their cervix double pierced with hooked forceps and then forced open, followed by a hook inserted and fishing around their uterus... all without medication. It is not discomfort, it is pain. Your calm, matter-of-fact tone is reassuring. And of course it's not helpful to terrify your viewers. Besides, maybe the ones who have already had their cervix stretched out by childbirth really do only feel discomfort. To the rest of you... the pain is bad, but it's temporary and you'll get through it!

    This is my exact situation. I had my IUD inserted in August 2019, two days later couldn’t find the string. Call my Doctor’s office, they did a scan and concluded it out of my body ( no X-ray was recommended) come to find out 3years later during a routine x-ray that it was in my abdomen, will be going for a surgery in 2 weeks. I will definitely be suing my doctor office for neglect.

    In your opinion is it normal when doctors can't find the IUD string to tell the patient "I couldn't feel the string it probably feel out". He didn't do any other options you suggested except his hand. He ordered for me to get an ultrasound but scheduled it 3 months from now. Shouldn't he be a little more concerned about not being able to find it?

    The way you explained everything was so soothing…however, I’ve come across your video because of pure fear. This is my 2nd time getting the IUD. The first time it embedded itself into my uterus and the doctor LITERALLY ripped it out along with a piece of my uterus and said “oh it will grow back”. Years later after having my 3rd baby, I was convinced that if it happened once, it’s a 1% chance of it happening again. I had my 2nd IUD put in 10 months ago and I want it out because I have been having at least 3 (week long) periods a month. They couldn’t find it when they looked. I have a scheduled ultrasound a month out and I’m freaking out.
    I’m sorry but I don’t recommend this for anyone. I just want it out! 🥺😢

    Firstly, I really appreciate your videos it’s very educational and easy to follow. I am hoping to get some answers as I am currently undergoing an issue with removal. I went through all the stages you described where the doctor was fishing for the strings to no avail. I was sent for an ultrasound which revealed the IUD is placed normally and they referred me to a Gyno to use special tools to have it removed. When I got to the gyno, she injected my cervix with the numbing agent which was very painful and proceeded to fish for the strings which was also very painful. Keep in mind I took 1200MG of ibuprofen day of as I was terrified and took Mistroprotsol (to dialate the cervix) which didn’t seem to do much. After fishing, the Gyno could not find the strings and I am now being referred to surgery. Would you have any insight into what type of surgery is needed for a normally placed IUD where the strings were cut too short and the Gyno is unable to locate them?

Doctor asked if I was expecting my period but I haven’t had a period in over a year and I spores a week prior to this procedure. Now I have a pre op appointment for another hysteroscopy through SDS. Hopefully this is the last procedure because I just want it out 😢

Last week at my follow up, I am told the new hormone load has 'woken up' my hormones/reproductive system, my ovaries appear "big & juicy' yes a direct quote! The IUD is in perfect position so its not that it has slipped down at all which was his first concern. So how does a new load of levonorgestrel make me bleed, when I didn't at all on my last IUD?

    I went to my OBGYN last week because of post menopausal cramping and bleeding. She, of course did a pap, and asked me how long I've had my IUD. 😳 how did I even forget I had one? I told her about 20 years (I know, I know 🙄) So she tried to remove it but WOW it hurt alot as she tugged. She couldn't get it out and is setting up a date to surgically remove it.
    Question: what can I expect? I'm such a Sissy la-la 🥺 and am definitely scared. Is there a lot of pain after...bleeding? And for how long
    Thanx in advance ❣️❣️

    Hello,
    I am 35 years old and tried to have the IUD set up a few days ago, but without success. My doctor said that my cervix was not dilated enough and tried several times to introduce it but couldn't. I mention that this was done in my last day of period as recommended.
    The alternative presented was to do it under anesthesia, but still she didn't recommend this, or use hormonal solutions of course.
    Also I mention that I had a pregnancy in 2017 and I had a C section because I was not dilated at all. Could these situations be linked?
    Aldo could you please tell me if you had this kind of situations with your patients? Also would you recommend to try having the IUD set up with another doctor?
    I confess that it hurt and now I am a bit scared. Also thinking that if it's so hard to put it how it will be to withdraw it if something doesn't go right.
    Many thanks in advance for your advice.

The thing is since my period started on July 11 2022 it never stopped. Can I remove my iud while still in my period?

    well, well, "discomfort"... what a convenient word. Spollies and "fish hook" foraging into your cervix, I think if you talk about it as "discomfort" it was just never done on YOUR cervix. I had a case of lost IUD (doctor later said it probably came out in the toilet without me noticing... great! What a safe stuff to not get pregnant ☠) and had to live through this "string research", it was a solid 7/10 of pain, 8/10 being when I broke my arm (and my IUD placement was 1/10) but i went through because what can I say? but then the worst was that I had THEN 2 days of 8/10 pain in cramps and feeling like my inside had been butchered and pierced by a thousand knives and i couldn't put cream or anything to ease it, painkillers didn't do the trick either.
    Honestly just please do the ultrasound as soon as you don't find the strings before doing all the cleaning/hook stuff, so at least a patient that doesn't have anything inside doesn't have to suffer through an extensive 20min of infructuous research. Just do the cleaning and research later, once you've seen the IUD with the ultrasound.

    IUD placement for me was by far the most painLESS birth control I have ever had done. I had the shot which I HATED! Very painful. The one in my arm hurt so so bad and bruised so badly. This procedure was so fast I honestly didn’t realize she was done I even had a pap done as well… so if you all are having that much paid then I’d say TALK to your doctor. They can’t fix the problem or help with pain if they don’t know, my doctor was very vocal and constantly checking on me. Very well done!
    QUESTION?! My doctor left mine longer so it bundles up and moves out of the way. As my partner at the time is larger, and could definitely feel it, and it was uncomfortable for him. My question being… why can I feel it? When he states he felt it I do too. Almost like he may be pushing the IUD against my uterine wall? And can I remove it myself? Since it is longer? It takes forever to get an appointment, and at this time I no longer want it or need it. My apt is 2 months out.
    Question 3 why was I have spotting around my normal period time for about 5 months and then it just stopped again? I did check for my string it’s their and took pregnancy tests. All negative. Thought odd.
